Psychometric properties of the Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery (QPR)
Abstract
The latent structure, reliability and validity of the Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery (QPR) (Neil et al., 2009) were examined in a sample of participants with experience of psychosis (N=335). The original two factor model proposed by Neil et al. (2009) was examined using exploratory factor analysis followed by a further independent exploratory factor analysis to test revised solutions. Model fit statistics indicated that the most interpretable solution was a one factor model using 15 items from the original measure. Internal consistency, test re-test reliability and convergent validity of this new 15 item version were found to be high. Recommendations for the utility of the QPR in routine clinical practice along with suggestions for future research are discussed.

When used to measure outcomes of the Active in My Home (AiMH) lifestyle intervention for people living in supported housing, significant improvements in activity engagement measured by POES and personal recovery measured by QPR between baseline and completion were reported.
“Further, when used to measure the outcomes of a lifestyle intervention, Active in My Home (AiMH), for people living in supported housing, significant improvements in activity engagement measured by POES and personal recovery measured by QPR (59, 60) between baseline and completion of the AiMH intervention were reported (51).”

QPR-15 has high internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent validity.
“Its psychometric properties, specifically its internal consistency, test re-test reliability, and convergent validity, were found to be high [60, 61].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
